work Steps, experience freedom--and still, my addict thinking whispers that i ought to be rewarded for my selflessness. i know how messed up that sounds and as i have said in the past, there are no medals or lifetime achievement awards for serving my peers BUMMER! as i walk through my day, i am finding that it is easier to go with the flow and be of service than to bend the world to how i think it ought to be. it is weird that someone like me, should choose to serve, when all i ever wanted was to be served.
sitting here this afternoon, thinking about the anniversary celebration at my home group. i am struck by how long i have been supporting my home group. fourteen or so years, is amazing. i was never one to hang anywhere for any length of time and a Men's meeting, never seemed to be in the cards. when i consider that like a whole lot of things in my recovery, the willingness to try something, even out of convenience, turns out to be something i choose to repeat.
moving forward into the rest of my day, i am still playing around with AI imaging. this is coming to an end soon and i am at the point where messing around with this is getting old and redundant. hopefully by the end of this afternoon,i will have me looking the way i desire and be able to add in the additional details. it is my smirk that i am working on now and it keeps making me look fatter. oh well, back to the drawing board

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) There is always One who presides over the infliction death. He
who would inflict death in the room of him who so presides over it
may be described as hewing wood instead of a great carpenter. Seldom
is it that he who undertakes the hewing, instead of the great carpenter,
does not cut his own hands!
